Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Hettick, IL.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you could choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hettick provides medically managed detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and doctors who can make detoxification easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve symptoms and make detox safer. An individual detoxing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal might choose to take part in medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For someone who has a history with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug rehab center to work on their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
